Volunteer Opportunities From: Volunteer Ozaukee

Join us a volunteer to assist our staff and interns in gathering biodiversity data for our Neighborhood Habitat Improvement Program (NHIP). The Observatory has over 100 bird boxes in public spaces throughout Port Washington, Wisconsin that we are monitoring nesting activity, additionally we are surveying the vegetation surrounding our bird boxes to determine if clutch sizes of breeding birds have better survival in areas with higher densities of native vegetation.

Volunteers will learn native and nonnative plant species, and how to use standard forestry tools while surveying a 5-meter site surrounding one of our breeding bird boxes. 

This opportunity allows you to work side by side an Observatory staff member. If you are a plant nerd or aspiring plant nerd this opportunity will be your jam. It’s a great opportunity to learn plant identification, especially woody plants. In addition, it’s a great hands-on experience to use standard forestry tools while hanging out with cool people. We have several monitoring locations throughout Port Washington. We will send you an email with the location to meet us within 24-48 hours of your volunteer time. All parks are in the City of Port Washington, WI.

Become a Certified Children's Vision Screener! Help us identify children with potential vision problems and set them on the road to healthy vision through children's vision screenings in your community.

Founded in 1958 by a group of dedicated volunteers, Prevent Blindness Wisconsin's mission is to prevent blindness and preserve sight in Wisconsin communities. We envision a Wisconsin where everyone enjoys a lifetime of healthy vision and we work toward this goal by providing free, direct sight-saving services, such as vision screenings, throughout the state.

Volunteers help with vision screenings at schools and childcare centers throughout Ozaukee County that otherwise do not have the capacity to screen the children at their schools and centers. All volunteers are required to attend a Prevent Blindness Wisconsin sponsored Children's Vision Screener Training. The training will go over how to vision screen school-age and preschool age children and the last step is to attend a short virtual volunteer orientation. The children’s vision screening certification is good for 3 years. No previous experience with health care or vision screenings is necessary. This is an opportunity for individual adults, teens and small groups (maximum size of 5).

Volunteers are required to complete and pass a background check and Children’s Vision Screener Training before volunteering. To sign up for our online training, please email Breanna at breanna@pbwi.org for the sign-up link.

Time commitment: Vision screenings typically take place on weekday mornings. Depending on classroom size, screenings take between 1 and 3 hours. Vision screening start in September and go through May.

Please contact Breanna Reckamp, Director of Operations, at breanna@pbwi.org or (414) 765-0505 to learn more and to sign up for a vision screener training.

In the realm of compassion and care, few roles hold the significance and transformative power quite like that of a hospice volunteer.  It is experience that transcends the ordinary as you touch the lives of those in need with grace, comfort, and companionship.  Being a hospice volunteer is about dedicating your time and presence to others.  Whether through a gentle touch, a listening ear, or simply sitting quietly by their side, you become the steadfast support those facing end of life seek.  Volunteers can read books, newspapers, or magazines to patients or even share their own stories.  For patients who enjoy the company of animals, volunteers with trained therapy animals can visit and provide companionship.  Hospice volunteers who have served in the military can share their experiences with a hospice veteran and participate in a pinning ceremony.  Being a hospice volunteer is a calling that allows you to provide empathy, allow yourself to be vulnerable, and embrace the stories of each individual as they celebrate their life journey.  Are you up to this rewarding challenge?

Preceptor Hospice is looking for dedicated volunteers to serve in roles that build on their strengths and abilities.  Hospice volunteers are essential in helping Preceptor support our mission of promoting the comfort and quality of life of each individual patient by providing what is important to them at this stage of their life.  Volunteers are able to offer companionship and create meaningful connections by engaging in conversation, reading books, be a listening ear, or a simple hand to hold.  Do you have a special talent - singing, playing an instrument?  Are you a Veteran and would you like to honor the bond shared of shared service by becoming a Veteran-to-Veteran to Veteran volunteer?  Volunteer with a buddy, friend, spouse, co-worker, sibling.  Is your pet certified?  Preceptor will help you find the perfect opportunity that fits your passion and works with your schedule.  

Positions at Family Sharing are often added. We are looking for happy, kind individuals who want to help make a difference in our community!
